Feel free to add your own recomendations, but it should preferably be bought at a brick & mortar and below $50.

I highly recommend the DNE320 CD/mp3 player. It's currently selling for US$60 and worth the few extra dollars. Circuit City currently has them for US$59.99. Best Buy has them for US$57.99. Radio Shack has them for US$59.99. It really is worth the extra $10. Search for threads on the DNE300/DNE320.

By the way, the current weather in Toronto is awfull, especially downtown!

Are you going to be crossing through New Hampshire? I live about half an hour from Boston and whenever I buy anything (not online, that is) I always go to Nashua, NH, which is right next to the border. The city has a nice couple blocks of most large retail stores (Best Buy, CC, CompUSA, Costco, Tweeter, etc.) and there's no sales tax in NH either.

Lemme check with my dad. I probably will, so I may drop by some stores. BTW, does Walmart carry any good PCDPs other than the ones I listed above? Cuz Walmart is the cheapest place I've seen so far to get a PCDP.

Nope, going on I-90. Coming from Toronto, not Montreal. And quick question: is Salem in New Hampshire? My sister's addicted to all that witch crap, so we're gonna go to Salem for probably a day. And are there any major stores therer too?

K, is it safe to assume the DNE319 is the same player as the DNE320, but without the remote?

DNE319

DNE320

DNE319 has a simple megabass function only whereas DNE320 and up have the Parametric Equalizer II.

 

[azncookiecutter]

Is the parametric EQ worth $10 extra? I usually listen to music with a flat EQ, so I don't see how an EQ will benefit me. And anyone been to a Sony Outlet Store lately? Just found out I'm gonna pay a visit to the outlet mall 40 min south of Boston. Just want to know how much cheaper prices are there.

No, it's in MA. I don't think there are many stores there except for gift shops.

As for Walmart, I dunno. I don't really go there too often, and I've never looked at PCDPs, instead just jumping straight to my Vaio Pocket.

The parametric EQ is useful to me on my D-NE300.

 

[Tech2]

I don't see how an equalizer would help, if you don't usually use one. However, you said you are getting a Shure e2c. If there is a possibility that you might use the equalizer with those, you may want to spend the extra $10. If not, just get a cheap mp3 CD player. You are on a budget, right? It won't be audiophile grade, but it will do for road trips, IMO.

Anyone else with their suggestions and/or comments?
